A
really ugly way is always to do the
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

size=2> 
    <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Insert into table MyData values (first_value, second_value, 'A&'||'M University');
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

size=2> 
Its
worked in SQLPlus doing that by hand ..... but its ugly.  Gotta be a beter way.
